Mummies and Pyramids

Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' and 'how' after reading the fictional Magic Tree House adventures, or if they have developed a sudden fascination with ancient mysteries and archaeology. This non-fiction companion serves as a bridge between fantasy and history, providing factual context to the world of Jack and Annie. It satisfies a child's natural curiosity about the past while maintaining an accessible, encouraging tone. While the book explores the potentially heavy topics of death and mummification, it does so through a scientific and historical lens that feels educational rather than frightening. It is perfectly suited for elementary-aged readers who are ready to transition from simple stories to more complex information-gathering. Parents will appreciate how it validates their child's interests and encourages independent research skills.
